control sticks and pedals.
Keep seat belts and harnesses tight and securely fastened.
If you are in the center seat, keep clear of items on the instrument
panel.
No smoking on the ground within 50 feet of the helicopter. No
smoking in flight unless an ashtray is provided and permission is
granted by pilot.
Depart the helicopter to the front and beware of turning rotors.
Keep hands and arms low.
Stay clear of exhaust vent on right side of helicopter.
